The method for distribution and allocation of Missouri state aid to public libraries is defined in RSMo 181.060. The general assembly appropriates money for state aid to public libraries and have determined specific requirements that libraries must meet to be certified or qualified to receive state aid.
Half of the state aid appropriation is distributed to qualifying public libraries on an equal per capita rate based upon the population according to the latest federal census. The balance is distributed in equalization payments to the most economically challenged libraries.
